Track Name: What's the Use? feat. Holy
(Zion)
Hip-hop's Hazardous. Skip that.
Strip that scandalous ______
got her tits out, tricked out fabulous . . . Glitz
feel this ______ in her cavernous
space is the place chase carriages. . . Wait. . .
haste make waste play averages
ass like that tip balances
great lake taste make ravenous . . . skate
roll up, cold cut MC's, fold up sandwiches
total up damages rest left for the scavengers
in jest mess left for the managers
vanish 'em rest . . .less caught by the cameras
flic that, flip that
cut rate brandishers
love for the amorous
luck for the gambler's fate

(hook)
More laquer for the slackers
smack for the hacker
warbucks for the cluckers
aaawww shucks
laces for the tongue tuckers
death for these dumb fuckers
bum luck
Track Name: Mo Meta Blues
(zion v.1)
My apologies
god forgive this progeny of miscogeny
black eyed peas and collard greens
slash prodigy of thrift shop eceonomy hip-hop
street light photography
John Brown staright to the armory
heat that 'll carterize an artery
audilbly vibration is a quantum leap
a trail of tears follow me
gathering gords for the hollowing
more masks than haolloween or Dunbar
and we back like lumbar
or hand made clay pottery
the artistry is infinite and oughta be
they hardly, we heartily
like my love for daughter be

(hook)
So Meta ever so clever
act like whe know better
but we no better
So meta, ever so clever
act like she know better,
but she no better
So meta, ever so clever
act like they know better,
but they no better
So meta, ever so clever
act like ya know better. . .
Track Name: Inna City
(hook)
In a city where the sun shine for 3 months a year
most nights are like re-runs of cheers
my man play it back say it's music to his hear
been a few years makin music for our peers

In a city where the sun shine for 3 months a years
most nights are like re-runs of cheers
my girl play it back say its soothing to her fears
sometimes play it back say its movin her to tears

(zion v.1)
I been savin all my scraps of paper
and raps on the backs of bubble gum wrappers
and napkins wrapped in meaning
my pen leaning divine intervening
a past bleeding into a future
California Dreaming
My wishing well ripple and shine
my daughter tossing in pennies nickels and dimes
a symbol of a simpler time
while my mind scheme a design to cure this fever of mine
its just a medium, we breakin the tedium
gas at a premium, me walkin the median
evening air breathing in, equilibrium evening
closing my eyes seein the jet plane we leavin in

(Hook)

(zion v.2)
It was a beautiful day, ugly part of town
time stands still, merry go round
Track Name: Wind
in this comedy of errors I err on the side of comedy,
reflect on deuteronomy, pray serenity, pen economy
Track Name: Lay Hands
morder science is designed to decipher the ancient
the secrets are sacred
the beauty and the balance if you simple and plain it
particles and parables
puzzles and mazes
populate the planet through its cycles and phases
purges and rages due to pillaging natures
lay men explain it to prayers and praises
the bible the quraan and the faith in their pages
people are patients, doctors are faceless
masks on their faces
the game is in error, we mirror the baseness
cure for the racist? quest for the ages
stock boy to block boy, work for the wages
entropy and empathy supple, amazing
couplets and phrasing
pattern and pacing
theism, we-ism, great migration
invoke kinfolk, embibe libation
Track Name: Too Dirty feat. Jack Burton
I'm stil amazed Hands up til the ceiling raise
son shining, blindin, you can feel the rays
fuel for the fire, flame for the lames
art from the start been the game for the dames
you ain't Rick James
get ya feet off my couch
flies on your lip bullshit out ya mouth
I'm denying the child
your mother should've aborted ya style
but its over wit now
sheddin tears in your beer
ain't the only one been through it
hard knocks on the rocks muamin chin music
alive 'll sample that, put a synth to it
I ain't a gimp, but I walk with a limp to it
all about getting paper, then putting pen to it
makin music, then sellin influence
see I ain't got to get all into it
I can leave it right there dog you can intuit
Track Name: Capital Gains
he went from grey poupon to coupon clippin
his hedge fund slippin and fallin
"Honey I shrunk the nest egg!"
this is your life on credit
his wife callin the medic
they brakin his legs, he ain't have the money to bet it
they over leveraged the future
when we told of foreclosure
back in '04 he was a big bill folder
now he foldling the stimulus package
make me fill her depression
now we back to the rations
wray and nephew pass a glass of molasses
this good got me higher than the price of the gas is.
Why my grandpops kept the cash in the mattress
big payback for these corperatist bastards
held up in a palace of malice and avarice
hands callused from holdin the chalice
and alice in chains
who lose when the capital grains
Track Name: Figure 8
they say . . .
we finish last only if not finished off first
the cycle of daughters seeking what was lost first
mothers clinging to that wich hasn't left
worse, indecision, education or a rap verse
love is drawn and quartered
reaching each and every night
longing to possess what is seen in plain sight
blind angles circle halos in the skylight
figure 8's till a nigga get his mind right
